I think the TV is particularly good for transmitting children’s songs. I ain’t gonna sing Head Shoulder Knees and Toes or Itsy Bitsy Spider for the umpteenth time haha. Hell no!

Other than occasionally watching basketball with me at night, our daughter didn't watch any tv for at least 6 months. At some point we started using learning shows to occupy her attention if we had chores to do.

I was impressed by how quickly she learned the alphabet, counting, shapes, and colors. In general, I think the anti-screen time studies overstate the harms.
